First of all, this is one hell of a good movie and Elijah Wood gives an Academy Award worthy performance. This boy can hold his own up against anyone in Hollywood, age means nothing, talent is everything and he has it nailed. I've heard about how good he was in The War, how incredible he was and boy, did he deliver. I do not as a rule, cry at movies but Elijah did it to me this time, he is a pro at showing powerful emotion convincingly. Nothing hollow of fake about what I saw tonight, Elijah deserves every bit of praise that he gets. He acts with his soul and really puts himself into his characters lives, he was Stu, he is one of the best actors out there, guaranteed.

I agree, very well said. I love this movie and every time I see it I cry.He could really act the pants of of Kevin Costner.

I agree with you, I like watching his movies were he is not so quiet, I thought Huckleberry Finn was great too, especially at the beginning talking to his dad and says "maybe I is or maybe I aint" The way he said it is soo cute. Saw him on SNL last night, he is so talented you can tell.
